Justification of the feasibility and choice of forms of integration by agribusiness subjects of the Republic of Belarus

Abstract

The article contains the results of studies to substantiate the expediency of integration and its forms in agribusiness in relation to existing and projected structures. In the first case, a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the structure and its participants is proposed based on. Within the framework of the second approach, an algorithm has been developed to justify the effectiveness, the choice of the form of integration of the projected integration structure. The algorithm includes four stages and is based on the “map of interests” of the integration participants developed by the authors, which gives an understanding of the possible effects that arise when choosing one form or another. The conclusion is made about the insufficient justification in many cases of the creation of integration structures in the agricultural business of the Republic of Belarus. In this regard, the critical importance of a balanced, consistent approach in planning and creating such associations and adherence to the basic principles of integration is emphasized.
